    In order to solve this problem, it is best to set up a proportion. The proportion you would use is 16/28=x/476. Cross multiply and then divide both sides of the equation by 28 to get x. So, there are about 272 boys in the total of 476 students in the school.

    The fraction of boys = 16/28 = 4/7

    Number of boys in school is about 4/7 * 176 = 101
